| I have hotel that has porcelain in its entrance. They asked me about cleaning it. The porcelain looks good the grout though is black and is supposed to be white. Anyone have any experience with this stuff what is the best way to go about this without hurting the nice shine on the porcelain. |

You can't really hurt porcelain very easily. It is easy to clean, provided you have the right equipment and chems. You will need atleast 800 psi (I recommend 1000 to 1200) and a good grout cleaning chem such as Klenz all or Viper Venom. Spray your chem down, let it sit for a few minutes, then blast it with a tile cleaning tool such as an SX-12 or a Turbo. That's it! You can pre-scrub with a grout brush if you want. Make sure and take your camera. Let me know if you have any other questions. ------------- http://www.larsonscarpetcare.com - carpet cleaning, tile cleaning, phoenix, mesa, chandler, gilbert |

| Cleanaz is right on the money, another option would be vapor steam, I would still use Klenzal or Viper Venom as prespray to speed cleaning. |

Carpetologist, with all due respect why would you clean tile and grout with a pumice scrubber thingy? We are well past that in terms of technology and the speed at which we can achieve superior results. If a guy doesn't have the necessary tools to do the job right he can either purchase them or pass the job on to someone who knows what they are doing. I really am not trying to be rude but rather curious as to how this product would outclean high pressure and good chems. Or, are you saying to use your product in tandem with the hwe process?

Cleanaz,
You are absolutely correct if you were to use a pumice stone to clean a large area of floor you could not afford the labour. My point is that I have many calls from floor cleaners who have tried all systems on floors that have worked well, but they have a few stains left that just won't come out. So, the pumice is your answer.
Thanks for the check up. ------------- Kleen Kuip Supply Mart Inc. http://www.kleenkuip.com - New & Used Professional Carpet Cleaning Machines, Restoration Equipment, Training, Service and Supplies |
